Ex-Miss North Carolina USA Brittany Boltinhouse\u2019s sudden dethronement over her alleged racist social media posts has sent shockwaves through the beauty pageant world \u2014 which is buzzing over the stunning news, a fellow contestant told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boltinhouse, 27, was formally stripped of her title Wednesday after bosses at A-Blaize Productions, which oversees the Miss North Carolina USA pageant, conducted \u201ca thorough review of recently surfaced information,\u201d the group announced in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alexis Yearde, who competed alongside Boltinhouse in June, said she supports the organization\u2019s decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe seems to be a really sweet girl, and I\u2019m sorry this is happening to her, but I really do stand with the Miss USA organization on where they have made their decision,\u201d said Yearde, 26.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something [Boltinhouse is] definitely going to have to learn from,\u201d she added, referring to allegations that Boltinhouse authored a slew of hateful social media posts under an alias between 2017 and 2019, according to the NC Beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former beauty queen, who lives in Wilmington, allegedly used the N-word multiple times and bizarrely referred to herself as \u201ctoxic\u201d in resurfaced posts under the username Sosa the Stallion, the outlet reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was definitely shocked to see how much was said, and it seems like her words have caused a lot of pain, especially to our community,\u201d said Yearde, who lives about 100 miles north of Boltinhouse in the city of Greenville.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really hurtful because we have such a small community\u201d and \u201cbecause we were all so excited for her journey,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even while vacationing in Thailand \u2014 11 hours ahead of her home state \u2014 Yearde told The Post on Thursday that she has been \u201clocked in\u201d on the controversy ever since it erupted \u201cbecause it\u2019s just been so crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pageant world \u201cis a close-knit community and when something like this happens, it\u2019s hurtful for all of us,\u201d Yearde said \u2014 especially because no one saw it coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t heard anything else besides the initial shock from everyone that this is happening \u2026[Boltinhouse] got along really well with the other women at the pageant \u2014 she was very helpful, very kind during her time there,\u201d Yearde recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t seem like a bad person at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coveted crown was handed over to Miss North Carolina USA\u2019s first runner-up Myla Hadley immediately following Boltinhouse\u2019s ouster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs beautiful as the crown is, it\u2019s not just something that we wear as a trinket \u2013 the crown is like a microphone that amplifies the voice. It serves a deeper purpose than just to wear it,\u201d Yearde said, echoing A Blaize Productions\u2019 insistence on upholding the title\u2019s \u201cstandards and values.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadley, 24, will now represent the Tar Heel State at the 75th annual Miss USA competition in Miami starting Aug. 24.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The newly crowned beauty queen said she\u2019s \u201cextremely grateful and humbled\u201d by the support she has received in light of the unexpected coronation on Wednesday \u2014 but remained mum on her rival\u2019s alleged racism scandal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The \u201cdedicated\u201d Hadley \u201chas been training for this moment for over 12 years,\u201d Yearde said. \u201cShe\u2019s super prepared and is going to do a great job at Miss USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Boltinhouse, \u201cI know that, at this time, it\u2019s probably super chaotic for her, but I truly wish her the best in this part of her journey,\u201d Yearde said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that she learns and that she uses this opportunity to become better educated on these things that have happened and why it\u2019s so important to be knowledgeable on these things,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Post reached out to Boltinhouse, who has not yet addressed the scandal publicly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
